Evolution of my WoW-UI & Addon List (WOD 6.0)

Addon List (Updated WOD 6.0):

Auras: TellMeWhen!!! My super replacement for Power
Auras and Weak Auras, these 2 addons didn't work well for me at MOP
release (auras disappearing out the config, either not working in combat
or making it so you could not edit them again) so I had to swap and I
never looked back. The awesome project manager Cybeloras is really
helpful too!
To the left, right and under my toon I have icons
show if an important
attack is off cooldown. To the left (and sometimes right) of the bottom
icon are important cooldowns available, some only show on bosses and in
PVP. Then just above my action bars I have a set of 4 icons, 2 on each
side to show important DOTs, buffs and debuffs, with on some toons extra
smaller icons above those if needed (like for a Monk). Some classes
also show available AOE attacks mostly on the far right of the bottom
icons. Most icons have a
range of conditions configured for them so they only show when they are
most useful/needed.Buffs & Cooldowns: Raven & OmniCC.Bars:
Bartender & Masque Renaitre Fade button skin. I use a Razer Naga <3,
the left and right action bars use the shift & control modifier
buttons. There are two mouseover action bars hidden at the very bottom
of the screen. Which I use along with Opie-addon rings for less used
macros and can be used for shortcuts to consumables, mounts, equipment sets, etc.Castbars: Gnosis.Chat: Basicchatmods. Left window:
whispers, party, raid, general, Dbm, boss emotes. Right window: guild,
trade, loot, npc emotes, xp, rep, profs, etc. Makes it impossible to
miss anything important.Combat Text: Mikscrollingbattletext.Dispelling: Decursive.Dps meter: Skada damage meter.Frames: Pitbull for unit and party frames.Garrisons: Bulkie, Bulkorder, Garrison Mission Manager, Master Plan. Nameplates: Tidyplates + Threatplates.Tooltips: Tiptac.Others: Adibags,
Altoholic,
Atlasloot Enhanced, ClcEclpipse, _Cursor, Collectinator, DBM, Deadly
PVP Mods, Eclipse Bar Plus, Energywatch Reborn, Grid, GTFO, Handynotes
Draenor Treasures, HHTD, Killshot, Leatrix
Plus, Moveanything, NPCscan, Oneclickenchantscroll, Opie, Postal,
Sexymap, SharedMediaAdditionalFonts, Simple iLevel,
SmartRes2, UmberRunes.

No longer using but worth a
mention if it might help you: Addon control panel, Afterlife Crowd
Control, Eclipsor, Fonter, Gatherer, Gogomount, MagicRunes, Tauntmaster.

You can find most of these addons on Curse, if you can't find it there it's on Wowinterface.

From old to new

The
oldest druid screenshot is when I first got my Razer Naga. Using
Quartz, Needtoknow, Omen, Power Auras and Recount. Very basic!

The 2nd oldest screenshot is when I got my bigger screen. I just added pitbull for my unit frames and Icehud.

The
3rd oldest I moved the unit frames to the left and right of my toon, and made my own party frames with
Pitbull. Got Tiptac for my tooltips. The Power
Auras started surrounding my toon, used Raven for buff & debuff management, created a 2nd
chatbox on the right and started experimenting with fonts.

25 LFR

My second to last UI - I got rid
of Icehud and the cartoony Harlequin font except for Combat Text Crits
(using Exprswyfree now). Created a template of TellMeWhen Icons (instead
of Power Auras) for all my classes and specs to build around and
changed my Castbar addon to Gnosis.

10 man raid

40 man Sha raid

My current UI which I'm quite happy with, quite clean out of combat, the
last addition is Pitbull raid frames which I needed cause
replacing fonter gave the blizz raid frames back their standard font
which I really don't like.
